The most versatile aircraft in the USAF inventory and still relevant with the new F-15EX Eagle II.

The old PW-220 "F-15Es" are pretty much worn out, and the GE-129 "F-15Es" have been rode hard. The USAF needs to fully replace both with the new "EXs", and put the GE-129 F-15E into the USAF Reserve.
The author briefly mentions the new F-15EX Eagle II.

Actually the A2A missile load-out is 20-22 using Amber Racks + 2X/3X on the new outboard ordnance stations

The F-15EX has so far impressed in simulated combat, even against fifth-generation threats, although new enemy long-range missiles could prove a challenge.
Note: I don't know why DOT&E says "the F-15EX has only “a limited capability to employ precision-guided, air-to-surface munitions", because it can use every A2S munition that the legacy F-15E does, and has for decades. Including the new AGM-158C LRASM. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGM-158C_LRASM

The last I knew the F15 has a won/lost record of 99/0 but I think there are a few more wins since then and still zero losses. They've put maybe trillions of dollars into "advanced" weapons systems but I don't know exactly how you advance from 99/0. Add some A-10's to cover ground troops and it's a really really bad day for enemies.

Just a minor note for the editors:
The Israeli F-15I is referred to by two different Israeli names in the article, the "Ha'am" and the "Ra'am", which is said to mean "Thunder" in Hebrew. Only the name "Ra'am" is correct; as a noun, it means "thunder", and as a verb it means "to resound, i.e., make a very loud, roaring sound" or "to make thunder, i.e., cause a very loud sound from the sky, usually after lightning (James Swanson, in Dictionary of Biblical Languages with Semantic Domains : Hebrew (Old Testament), Oak Harbor: Logos Research Systems, Inc., 1997)." The word "ha'am", on the other hand, literally means "the people", usually referring to the nation of Israel as a whole.
